The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has given telecommunications operators in the country Only two weeks to block all SIM cards that are not registered with the National Identity Numbers (NIN).
NCC warned that any telecom operators that failed to comply with the directive risked outright withdrawal of its licence or heavy penalty.
A statement on Tuesday by the Director of Public Affairs of the NCC, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde, noted that “following the earlier directive on the suspension of new SIM registration by network operators, the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim (Pantami) convened an urgent meeting of key stakeholders in the Communications industry on Monday, December 14, 2020.”
NCC warned that non-compliance by any network operators could lead to withdrawal of operating license.
